Gaggia Brera RI9305/01 Bean to Cup Machine

The Gaggia Brera is a fully automatic bean to cup machine with a metal chassis and very attractive titanium coloured ABS plastic sides with polished stainless steel panelling on the front. This machine brings together Gaggia's expertise and experience with beans-to-cup machines and the durability, attractiveness and easy-care of a metal body. It features all of Gaggia's latest developments from their range of fully automatic domestic espresso machines.

You make your espresso with a simple touch of the buttons and the machine will grind the coffee beans from the hopper and extract your espresso directly into your cup. The used coffee grounds are automatically removed from the brewing head and stored in an internal container which only needs to be emptied when full or at the end of the day.

The Gaggia Brera displays instructions on the screen in an icon format. It allows you to program variables such as the coffee quantity and water temperature, it prompts you when you need to descale, clean, empty the coffee grounds, and even when to refill the water tank. As well as using the built in grinder, pre-ground coffee can also be used giving more flexibility in terms of coffee choice, for example to use decaffeinated coffee. The cup warmer ensures that the cups are kept at the right temperature ready for when you want to make a cup of coffee. The height of the brew head can be automatically adjusted allowing you to use many different sizes of cups.

The Gaggia Brera features the "Panarello" milk frothing attachment which swivels through 180 degrees and makes it easy to create perfectly frothed milk for a creamy cappuccino.

The drip dray has a stainless steel cover and is easily removed for emptying and cleaning. This then gives you access to the water tank which is full removable for filling. The brew group can also be easily removed from inside the machine for cleaning.

The hopper lid seems to be a better design than usual on the Brera, it has a seal which will keep the beans fresher.
